I have been working for @collabora@floss.social for 15 years now. They suggested that I should look into this new idea called #Wayland when I was being interviewed (in IRC!) for the contractor position. That is how I got to where I am today, and mental health permitting I am in a very happy place. Just wanted to brag about the 15 years. 😋

@troy_s and pears. It would be the artist themselves saying this set of paints is not enough for them. Does that never happen?

@troy_s Is it irrelevant to artists what set of paints they have available to paint a picture with?

@emersion@hachyderm.io I wonder if someone could make a business out of making USB "adapters" that add such descriptors.

@suihkulokki@society.oftrolls.com we have 100 EUR keyboards with programmable macros and leds, shouldn't be that much to add a programming interface for some HID descriptor.

@alcinnz@floss.social Not all keys generate characters. Sometimes one needs to know which key was hit rather than what character would be generated, like for hotkeys.

Why don't usb keyboards advertise their layout and model? Would be nice to be able to unlock LUKS at atomic Linux distro boot without having to remember a foreign kbd layout I did not use while setting up the encryption. Desktop kbd setup would be easier too.

What if there was a usb forwarding dongle for keyboards that modified the HID descriptors to add this info? And an interface to program that info into the dongle.
